Lot of people are hyped for a possible sequel I guess but how realistic would that be? Didn't the studio get closed down?

The best part about this is that you could be totally bullshitting us right now, and we would never know, because with as bad a first look as that trailer was, you’d have to imagine anything is possible.

Nah, a army of Vectors showing up before Knuckles would make sense. Remember the concept art of sonic and vector in a band?

E: Sorry about the double post, I'm dumb.

I was cynical of the idea of a Sonic movie from first inception to even after redesign. I just saw it and loving loved it. I can’t believe it. All those childhood Sonic fan feelings came back.:unsmith:

The studio that re-did Sonic got shut down, but that seems to just be something that the industry does, presumably just to be a bunch of assholes.

Also who decided that Movie Robotnik's theme was going to be the Adventure of Sonic The Hedgehog's theme remixed because I'm so goddamn confused by that callback.

The VFX company I worked for on Sonic was shut down in Vancouver, but still has other sites around the world. If a Sonic sequel happened, it would either go to one them, or another studio entirely.

I can't believe how much I really enjoyed that. Weird coincidence how whenever this property keeps winding up in the hands of somebody besides Iizuka or Kishimoto, it's really really good! Give Sonic to Tyson Hesse forever, please.

Robot Style posted:

They weren't even in the original version of the movie. After Hesse came on board, the prologue was redone and the Echidnas were added. Originally baby Sonic lived in a castle powered by a chaos emerald, which was attacked by an army of space lizardmen.

Was Longclaw a Hesse addition?

Also btw, you guys absolutely killed it with the VFX. Great job.

Super Jay Mann posted:

My biggest disappointment with the climax of the film was that it took more than eight hits for Sonic to blow away Robotnik's machine. I even started counting when it happened because I am hopeless and completely resigned to being a shameless Sonic fanboy forever :colbert:

I did the exact same thing because I really thought it might be exactly eight. :laffo:

Nope - she was around from the beginning, though I feel like her just being a large photorealistic owl clashes a bit with the other more cartoony characters. Her role was larger originally too, since she and Sonic both escaped through the ring and hid out on Earth as she slowly died from her wounds over several years. Sonic having to take care of her would have explained why he stuck around Green Hills long enough to form an attachment to the town, but it probably would have hurt the tone of the movie.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
Yeesh, did Penders write that?

I'm sure if(when?) we get a sequel there'll be plenty of opportunity to reintroduce most of this stuff but it sounds like pretty much all of it was better off on the cutting room floor.

It wouldn't surprise me if an echidna tribe being added as antagonists to Sonic was a jab at Penders.

Movie was decent. Jim Carrey was a fun Robotnik (he even started to sound a bit like Mike Pollock near the end) and there were some good jokes in there. Some additions like Owl Mom were kinda weird.

They have "Teen Sonic" and "Toddler Sonic" available as new event unlockable characters in the sonic mobile games! They also added City Escape as an area and music, and swapped the enemies and bosses for ones from the movie.

Well, I mean, it's the 20th in 4 days. If they were going to announce something to capitalise on positive reception, it'd make some sense to consolidate it for a couple day after release.

if nothing else, the fact they aren’t rushing poo poo out the door to capitalize on an arbitrary date is a sign that they have been learning something these past 20 years.

Not really. Forces wasn't rushed out to meet anything in particular and it was 4 years after the previous sonic game, and it's still clearly very unpolished.

My favorite part of the Sonic movie was the tasteful love scene between Sonic and Eggman. I didn't know Jim Carrey could pull off sensual gravitas, but here we are, and it's almost enough to make me forget the hundreds of children he helped to convince their lovely, stupid parents to not vaccinate. I just hope Infinite appears in the sequel, now that was a unique character with some potential.
